Review of „Amok“ by Atoms for Peace

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

From the first pulsing notes of „Before Your Very Eyes…“ to the fading echoes of „Amok,“ this album is a hypnotic masterpiece. Atoms for Peace, a supergroup featuring Thom Yorke, Flea, and Nigel Godrich, crafts an intricate soundscape that feels both futuristic and deeply human.

„Before Your Very Eyes…“ sets the tone with its layered rhythms and Yorke’s haunting falsetto, pulling you into a world of fragmented beauty. Each track flows seamlessly, with highlights like „Ingenue,“ where delicate beats and shimmering synths perfectly complement Yorke’s ethereal voice. Flea’s basslines shine on songs like „Dropped,“ adding a groove that grounds the album’s abstract elements.

The title track „Amok“ closes the journey with a mesmerizing blend of electronic textures and organic instrumentation, leaving you in awe of the sheer artistry. This isn’t just an album; it’s an experience—a haunting, beautiful exploration of sound that lingers long after the music stops.
